Dismantle & Relocate Sawmills & Projects
Examples of What Can Atica Do for You.
Sierra-Pacific – Lincoln, California USA ~ 1992-1993:
In 1992 we dismantled the Bohemia, Inc. Large Log Sawmill in Grass Valley, California, salvaged and refurbished all the log haul conveyors, lumber transfers, and roll-cases and utilized them in the US$13,400,000 upgrade of the Lincoln Division Sawmill. Gary Cantrell managed this project. The completed project produces in excess of 145,000,000BF/yr on 2 shifts of high quality softwood lumber in Douglas Fir, Grand Fir, Ponderosa Pine, Sugar Pine and Incense Cedar.
Primorskii Dok – E. Siberia, Russia ~ 1994:
In 1994 Gary Cantrell dismantled in its entirety the Gutchess’ Lumber Company Sawmill #2 in Cortland, NY, shipped it to Eugene, OR to Reliable Fabrication & Renewal where an Atica affiliate, Mr. Gary Logsdon managed the entire upgrading and refurbishing of the equipment. This equipment was destined for the Primorskii Dok Hardwood Lumber mill in Dalnerinchensk, E. Siberia. This mill was never completed as the Russian joint-venture partnership dissolved due to legal-political reasons and the equipment was then sold at auction. This mill was intended to produce 18,000,000BF/yr of quality hardwood lumber.
Port Angeles Hardwood – Olympic Peninsula, Washington State USA ~ 2005-2006:
We completely dismantled the Smokey Point Sawmill near Marysville, WA. The entire Headrig system with controls, Carriage & Rail, Filing Room equipment, Wastewood Chipper, Gang Edger, Log Bucking Saw & Cabin [pictured right] Motor Control Centers, Chip Bins, and hundreds of components were refurbished by us and installed in the Port Angeles Hardwood Greenfield project. Mr. Gary Cantrell, Atica President was the Project General Manager, Gary Logsdon was the Construction Manager. Lawrence Carson setup the project development "Dashboard". |
